6. Starting the new node will join the cluster at one place prior to the dead node in
the ring:

7. We are almost done. Just run nodetool repair on each node on each key-
space:
nodetool repair -h 192.168.1.54 keyspace_name -pr
nodetool repair -h 192.168.1.51 keyspace_name -pr
nodetool repair -h 192.168.1.56 keyspace_name-pr
8. Remove the token of the dead node from the ring using the following command:
nodetoolremovetoken
85070591730234615865843651857942052864
This command needs to be executed on all the remaining nodes to make sure all
the live nodes know that the dead node is no longer available.
9. This removes the dead node from the cluster; now we are done.
